Overview

§ 01

River Bend Ranch is a rare 700-acre multi-use ranch in the heart of Brazos County, approximately 20 miles from Bryan/College Station and Texas A&M. The ranch features over 6,000 feet of Navasota River frontage, 2,700+ feet of paved road frontage, mature hardwoods, productive pastures, creeks, open meadows, and over 100 feet of elevation change. Water features include two ponds, a stocked 1.5-acre fishing pond, natural sloughs, and an excavated trench offering potential for a large fishing lake or duck impoundment. Historically minimal hunting pressure supports abundant whitetail deer, waterfowl, hogs, dove, and other wildlife. Improvements include a 2,104 SF hunting cabin, 1,216 SF foreman’s home, four water wells, interior electric, and cross-fencing. An exceptional recreational, hunting, cattle, family retreat, or long-term investment opportunity with outstanding proximity to Aggieland.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
